GVSU Recreation Success Stories

Julia Rauch

Student, Fitness & Wellness Instructor

"I worked out throughout high school, but once I came to college
I was suddenly terrified to go to the Rec Center. Once I finally went,
I stumbled across the group exercise classes and became hooked. The
classes and the instructors motivated me and made me feel at home at
the REC; so much so that I pursued becoming an instructor myself. The
people here are all like minded, and I've made some life long friends,
while significantly boosting my confidence in the past three years. It
really comes down to the people who make the REC such a great
environment to work and play in."
